Hi VIM developers,
I found a bug in VIM 7.0's new tr() function. If the {src} string contains
exactly 80 characters, an additional junk character is appended to the tr()
result; this happens regardless of whether a character translation has occurred
or not.
How to reproduce:
vim -u NONE
:echo
tr('12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890',
'x', 'y')
Note: If {src} contains more or less than 80 characters, the bug does not
occur. If it occurs, it usually prints something like:
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890^E
though the last junk character (^E) may differ.
Affected platforms:
I could reproduce this in console vim and gvim, on MS Windows XP SP2 and HP-UX
11.0 PA-RISC systems with the official, unpatched version 7.0, e.g.:
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled May 7 2006 16:18:30)
MS-Windows 32 bit console version
I hope this helps. Keep up the good work, I use VIM daily and couldn't live
without it!
